Here at Thinx Inc., we strive to use our blog, The Periodical—as well as our other social media channels—to create a safe and supportive environment, where information can be freely shared and robust conversation can take place.

Our intent is to use this space to talk candidly about all things periods, be a source of education and inspiration for our community, listen to your experiences, and answer your questions.

While we’re always excited to hear from our community, it’s important to note that comments posted on our channels are not reflective of the opinions of Thinx Inc. T​he comments and responses that you read on our channels are not posted by us, and come from members of the public not associated with Thinx. We work hard to moderate and respond quickly to comments and feedback. (Generally, we check in several times a day during business hours and sporadically on weekends.)

Our priority is always to create a safe space for you and so w​e’ll do our best to ensure the posts on our pages are in line with the Thinx mission. However, due to the volume of conversations pertaining to Thinx, we cannot monitor every single post or conversation, and we encourage our community to respect the following ​Community Guidelines:

stay on topic

Your comments should be reflective of the topic of the content at hand. We reserve the right to delete off-topic comments or posts containing false information, unsolicited advertising, spam, hyperlinks, or content protected by copyright, trademark, or other rights and may ban users accordingly.
